Agrarius
/a-GRAY-ree-us/🏷️ Taxonomy●● Intermediate
Also known as: agraria, agrarium
Agrarius marks a plant of farmland — one that grows in, or belongs to, cultivated fields and the ground around farms. In practice it is applied to species that follow the plough: annual weeds of arable land, grasses of field margins, and plants that turn up wherever soil is regularly disturbed for crops. It overlaps heavily with arvensis, and both should be read as a note on where the plant lives rather than on what it looks like.
Etymology
From Latin agrarius, "growing in or belonging to farms, to (cultivated) fields".
Example
“An epithet of agrarius tells you to look for the plant along the edge of a crop field, not in woodland.”
